>>17518It was a fucking wild ride. I would try and explain it, but I don't have the words to describe it. The age really starts to weigh on you though. I remember bits and pieces of the really epic happenings and the threads, but not everything. I sometimes have had to resort to using knowyourmeme to dig up some old memories. On one hand I hate how that site exists, but on the other I am grateful.How did you even find your way here when you started in 2013?

>>17561We can still make that joy happen, my oldfag friend.

>>17561I caught the tail end of it. I witnessed the last fleeting glimpse of this time long past.It's weird, I've come a long way since. Rozen Maiden pointed me in the direction, showed me I needed to overcome my hikki habits. Now I have my own apartment, gf, and dog. I still feel nostalgia for those wide eyed years of newfaggotry, god I miss them, even if im glad I ended up where I am, nothing is quiet the same as those golden years.

Id worry more about making it a place we want to post. I tried reviving activity with /desu/ over on 8ch, riding the nostalgia and exodus waves, didn't yield high results longterm (other than a few Ruskies I met who wont come here)It's good to have this little haven of oldfaggotry though, it allows me to go somewhere to connect, to taste just a pinch of that old feeling I had when I was young, just discovering desuchan as a newfag. Good times, I miss them, but I'm glad I can at least come back here and see many of those old memories.

Sure, IRC is free, open, etc etc, but hey, not really that convenient and kinda requires you to either be online 24/7 to be able to read all the logs from where you were AFK, or run the client on some server and log in to that server every once in a while. Second option is pretty much the same as first option but doesn't require your PC to be on all the time. Anyway, there is no other way to get your logs from the time you were not on IRC in person. And that is the most inconvenient thing about IRC.

Discord, on the other hand, offers you all the logs you want from virtually any given time. This and the fact that you probably already are or will be lurking some other DC servers makes is even better, since you have all your chats in single place.

And yeah, you need their own client for that, but what of it? It's rather normal isn't it? You afraid of your chats being read by Discord admins or your data being sold somewhere? Well, I can't see how they would be able to process private conversations or random chats of all the people using Discord that way. And even if they are able to do that, it's their right to do that. You don't like it - don't use it, it's simple. For simioiar reason I don't use facebook. Only that facebook requires you to give them your real name and a bunch of personal data I wouldn't really share with strangers, so Discords is not that nasty on that field in comparison, is it?

>>17610>>17611Then maybe let's make it a thing? Official Desuchan Discord server, that is. I don't think I should be bossing around by making one and call it Desuchan's Discord server on my own accord, so maybe someone from the administration should do it. I'd be more than happy to join (although I don't spend that much time on Discord recently, it still would be nice to chat with you guys from time to time).

greetings my fellow desuniggers we are a forgotten people, time has moved on without us. this site is as dead as gin's vagina. given that the world now considers us deceased we can ride roughshod over the internet spamming desu with impunity once again, only and insane person would show up here here, have a look around and think this dead ruin of a website is active enough to generate spam assaults.

We are hidden away from prying eyes now. 4chan has imploded, everyone who gave a shit is over at 8chan and the rest of the internet has shoved it's head up it's ass. Maybe now we can get things moving again and gather up our lost flock? That is if this place is still up and running the next time I visit.

[21:27:32] <Fedor> Erm, just wanted to ask if someone could please fix open proxy error on desuchan[21:27:58] <Fedor> I can't post on any board neither from PC nor mobile phone, I have no idea[21:30:11] <Fedor> I just want to join nostalgiafags that suddenly are posting all over the place

I found another good one in my collection. It's from Nietzsche's "Twilight of the Idols" and even though he speaks about Germany, his words still hold general significance:

5 - What the Germans Need

No one is free any longer in present-day Germany to give their children a noble education: our 'high' schools are without exception geared to the most ambiguous mediocrity, with teachers, teaching plans, teaching objectives. And everywhere an indecent haste prevails, as though something would be missed if the young man of 23 were not yet 'finished', did not yet know the answer to the 'main question': which occupation? - A higher kind of man, if I may be forgiven for saying so, does not like 'occupations', precisely because he knows he has a calling.. He has time, he takes his time, he does not even think of getting 'finished' -- at thirty you are, in the sense of high culture, a beginner, a child.

The ship of mankind has, one believes, a deeper and deeper draught the more heavily it is laden; one believes that the more profoundly a man thinks, the more tenderly he feels, the more highly he rates himself, the greater the distance grows between him and the other animals -- the more he appears as the genius among animals -- the closer he will get to the true nature of the world and to a knowledge of it: this he does in fact do through science, but he thinks he does so even more through his arts and religions. These are, to be sure, a blossom of the world, but they are certainly not closer to the roots of the world than the stem is: they provide us with no better understanding of the nature of things at all, although almost everyone believes they do. It is error that has made mankind so profound, tender, inventive as to produce such a flower as the arts and religions. Pure knowledge would have been incapable of it. Anyone who unveiled to us the nature of the world would produce for all of us the most unpleasant disappointment. It is not the world as thing in itself, it is the world as idea (as error) that is so full of significance, profound, marvellous and bearing in its womb all happiness and unhappiness. This consequence leads to a philosophy of logical world-denial: which can, however, be united with a practical world-affirmation just as easily with its opposite.

I find this section fascinating. Sometimes I think Nietzsche was closer to his hated romantic contemporaries than he thought.
